🎶 Leighton Linslade Music Centre Final Concert – This Saturday🎶

Join us this Saturday as we celebrate the final concert of the Leighton Linslade Saturday Music Centre, marking the end of an incredible 40+ years of music-making in our community.

Over the past four decades, hundreds of young musicians have rehearsed, performed, and grown in confidence here, creating lasting memories and friendships through music. This concert will be a special opportunity to celebrate everything the centre has achieved and to give it a wonderful send-off.

As our provision evolves, from April, the central Saturday Music Centre will take place in Ampthill, with satellite weekday music provision in Leighton Linslade.

More details about the new arrangements will be shared very soon — watch this space!

We hope you can join us on Saturday to celebrate 40+ years of music at Leighton Linslade. 🎻🎺🎹

Please share your thoughts on changes to Inspiring Music's Music Centres - Your Voice Matters! 🎤🎼🎹🥁🪘🪇🎷🎺🪗🎸🎻

Share your views on proposed changes to Inspiring Music’s music centres.

Inspiring Music has been providing music lessons in schools and local music centres for nearly 40 years. However, due to financial pressures and a drop in membership, we are reviewing how the service operates.

While the service successfully moved online during the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person attendance has not fully recovered despite efforts to boost membership.

At the same time, rising costs - for staff, equipment and other costs associated with hosting the music centres - and funding which hasn’t increased since 2016, have led to a financial shortfall of nearly £40,000 per year.

Therefore, we are proposing a new model. A music hub in a location that's central to the area - such as Ampthill - would offer Saturday morning sessions with specialist tutors, while smaller satellite centres in larger towns across Central Bedfordshire - such as Biggleswade, Dunstable, and Leighton Linslade - would provide after-school music programs.

Your Voice Matters - take part in the consultation here: https://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/consultations

It will run for four weeks, closing on Sunday 30 March 2025.
